Estimates from the existing fossil material measure this dinosaur at about 12.2 m (40 ft) in length and 7 t (7.7 short tons) in weight. [13] With such parameters it was the largest of the non-sauropod ("prosauropod") sauropodomorphs. [13] Its bones are robust and it had a graviportal limb arrangement, a key character trait of basal sauropodomorphs.
